Ingredients

  • 1 can artichoke hearts packed in water, drained
  • 1 medium shallot chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 bag fresh baby spinach 16-ounce
  • 1 bag baguette 14 ounces
  • 1/2 cup light cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano grated
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • fresh pepper to taste
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lay the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Lightly spray the baguette slices with olive oil spray. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then, add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet. Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture, drained artichoke hearts (chopped if desired), softened cream cheese, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir until well combined.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the spinach-artichoke mixture onto each toasted baguette slice. Make sure to heap it on for maximum flavor!
  • Return the assembled crostini to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, just until the filling is warmed through and slightly bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Spinach-Artichoke Crostini with friends and family!
